[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three separate adults, on three separate occasions, thought something was not right and called the police when they saw the 2 kids on their own.

If this had happened just once, I could blow it off as a randomly paranoid person.  But three different people? on three different occasions?

It's not a minor thing to call the police/911.  It's going out of your way.  Why did these three people do that?

Seems to me that for average people out there, it looked like the children were either in a potentially dangerous situation or possibly being neglected.

I for one am glad that we live in a community where strangers care enough about the situation to call the police.  You know there are children out there who are neglected, or abused, the signs are there and no one does anything (Relisha Rudd and others).  Sounds like the situation on Sunday could have been handled better, but I for one am not faulting the police officer.  Somehow the kids are flagged in the system for him to contact CPS.  What was he supposed to do, ignore that?  Just return the kids to their home, not knowing why they'd been flagged by CPS?  What if the kids were truly being neglected? (and maybe they are)[/quote]

Maybe because the 10 year old is little. Poor kid. Growth hormones would get CPS off their case.[/quote]
